BATON ROUGE, La. -- Following
ULM's 23-17 overtime win at FIU on Saturday night, the Warhawks claimed a clean sweep of the weekly Louisiana honors as voted upon by the Louisiana Sports Writer's Association.

Wide receiver Brent Leonard won the offensive player of
the week honor, while linebacker R. J. Young was selected defensive player of
the week and kicker and punter Justin Manton was tabbed the special teams
player of the week.

Louisiana Offensive Player of the Week: Brent Leonard,
WR

Senior WR Brent Leonard caught 13 passes for 98 yards and
one touchdown... Leonard's lone TD of the game came in overtime as his 15-yard TD
reception gave ULM a 23-17 win at FIU Saturday night... It was the fourth time
this season that Leonard caught 10 or more passes in a single game and he now
ranks third in the single season Sun Belt Conference record books with 97 grabs
on the year... He also became the first ULM receiver to go over the 1,000-yard
receiving mark since 2002 and is just the second Warhawk to tally 200+
receptions in a career (Leonard, 202; Mack Vincent, 203 [2000-03]).

Louisiana Defensive Player of the Week: R.J. Young, LB

R.J. Young led an attacking Warhawk defense with a
game-high 10 tackles in ULM's 23-17 overtime win at FIU Saturday night... Young,
who had seven solo and three assisted tackles, tallied two of ULM's 17 tackles
for loss and also broke up one pass... His biggest play of the night came with
just seconds remaining in the third quarter... Young picked up an E.J. Hilliard
fumble [forced by Darius Lively] and rumbled 36 yards to the right corner of
the end zone for his first career score.

Louisiana Special Teams Player of the Week: Justin
Manton, PK/P

Justin Manton, as he has done most of the season, handled
all of the kicking duties in ULM's overtime win at FIU Saturday night... Manton
nailed a career-long 47-yard field goal with one second remaining in the first
half and ULM took a 10-7 lead into the locker room at halftime... Manton was
perfect on his two PATs... The sophomore also punted eight times for 342 yards
(42.8 avg) with two punts downed inside the 20... Manton's registered a new
career-best with a 66-yard punt in the first quarter... His punt, that bounced
near the 20 and rolled to the FIU one-yard line before being downed by Preston
Coleman, is tied for the 10th-longest punt in school-history... Manton
also kicked off four times for 239 yards (59.8 avg).
